Hmm.. it doesnt seem to work for me too. Maybe its because when the vfstab
entries are read during startup, the network services may not be fully up,
and thus the mount wont work, as the ntfs mounting is done over
127.0.0.1(Yeah, you should see the network activity when I'm watching
a movie!)

To over come this I made a small script 'mountntfs' that has 1 line with the
required mount command.

Moinak : si there anyway to get it to work in vfstab?
